Winter Buffet Vignette

January 12, 2013

Winter is my favorite season! Whenever I say this I get the look, your know like I’m “nuts”. But I truly do love the cold weather, snow on the ground and nesting in front of the fireplace. My father owed his own masonry business and we vacationed in winter….we went sledding, cross country skiing etc.

So I’m not one who wants to get through winter I want to enjoy it! Yesterday I pulled together a Winter Buffet Vignette. Everything I used I had laying around.

I didn’t have a long white runner so I overlapped 4 white place mats, they are quilted and add a lot of texture.

The Woodland Christmas Tree I made is still in pretty good shape (just spritz with water) and added a snowflake. The candelabra was topped with some snow balls made last year, topped it with a pretty little cardinal.

A few winter candles were added inside the vintage muffin tin.

Loving the white boa against the silver try.

Pretty much everything on this side was used in my Christmas Vignette. Topped the candlesticks with a few more homemade snow balls, added a cute crochet baby booty to the silver coffee urn. My white button tree was hung on the shutter.

I like the simple and serene look, it very calming with to me adds to the romantic charm of winter.

Dried Hydrangeas was used on my Winter Mantel which is right across from my buffet so I incorporated some in the vignette too.

And I do not think you are crazy at all because i LOVE Winter too!
I love the way the house looks, I love snow except for having to drive in it and i love winter clothes like sweaters and coats!! I am no lover of heat and the colder temps. suit me just fine!!

Cathy I like the winter as well, just wish we had snow on the ground instead of rain and this terrible fog we have had the past 2 days! I love your dried hydrangeas…how do you have the basket attached to the mirror?
Everything looks so pretty. Have a wonderful Sunday!!
